Looking for reliable CNC Boring Tungsten? VT machining manufactures Tungsten parts to tight tolerances and consistent quality. Tungsten is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance, so the process is set up specifically for the material.
CNC Boring Capability for Tungsten
- Bore tolerance to IT6
- Roundness within 0.005 mm
- Fine boring heads
- Large-diameter capability
How CNC Boring Tungsten Works
The Tungsten bar or billet rotates in the spindle while single-point tools shape outer diameters, bores, faces, grooves and threads. Constant surface speed control keeps cutting conditions stable from large to small diameters.
We start from your supplied geometry and tolerance scheme. The setup is designed to minimise re-clamping, which protects positional accuracy across features. A first article is verified against the drawing before the balance of the batch is released.
Working with Tungsten
Tungsten is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance. We translate those properties into a process plan: the right tooling, speeds, feeds and fixturing for the alloy.
Where the grade, temper or heat-treat condition matters to performance, we confirm it with you and can supply material certificates. Material is procured to recognised standards for consistent, repeatable results.
CNC Boring Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most Tungsten parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
CNC Boring Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned Tungsten holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
Design Tips for CNC Boring Tungsten
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help Tungsten turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Boring Tungsten
Tungsten parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.

Why is Tungsten a good choice for CNC Boring?
Tungsten is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance, which makes it well suited to CNC Boring. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Tungsten turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What surface finish is achievable on Tungsten with CNC Boring?
Surface finish on Tungsten is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Which industries use CNC Boring Tungsten parts?
CNC Boring Tungsten parts are used across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor and general industrial sectors — anywhere precise Tungsten components are required.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Boring Tungsten?
Achievable tolerances for Tungsten turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
